What is Positive Period?
Who are we? Positive Period started off as a group of six 8th graders interested in ending period poverty in 2023! Throughout the years the Positive Period team has changed, going from six 8th graders to one 10th grader and three 11th graders. Period poverty is a problem in every country, but especially in developing countries, such as Madagascar, where we are located.

We go to an IB school (International Baccalaureate) that encourages students to solve problems not only for our community but to help complete the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. We focused on four main goals: goal number 3-good health and well-being, goal number 4-quality education, goal number 5-gender equality, and last, but not least, goal number 13-climate action. (More details on why we chose these specific goals and how we plan to solve them on another page).

When thinking of our goal we wanted something that wouldn't just lower the costs of pads, but also create a long lasting solution. By providing menstruators who, already can't afford disposable period products with reusable pads, it doesn't just give them resources to use, but limits the amount of plastic waste, and most importantly, sets them up for success in the future, having a reliable and sustainable solution.
